Where was you when the train left town
I was standing on the corner with my head hung down
Hey that train that carried my girl from town
Hey, Hey, Hey, hey
I wish to the lord the train would wreck
Kill the engineer and break the fireman's neck
Hey that train that carried my girl from town
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Rations on the table coffee getting cold
Some dirty rounder stole my jelly roll
Hey that train that carried my girl from town
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
There goes my girl somebody bring her back
Cause she's got her hand in my money sack
Hey that train that carried my girl from town
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Lord show me the woman that a man can trust
Hey that train carried my girl from town
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
